The question about medical wishes can come up anywhere: a routine appointment, the kitchen table, a hospital hallway. Most people realize in that moment they've never actually asked. This session uses the 4Ms framework to explore medical preferences with curiosity, not dread, and build confidence navigating the healthcare system as an advocate for someone you love.

You sat down to plan for a loved one's care and didn't know where to start. This session makes room for that uncertainty: we'll touch on the 4Ms framework, what matters most, medication, mentation, and mobility, then open the floor to conversation. Caregivers further along often have real insight for those just getting their footing. You don't have to start alone.

You know the paperwork exists: power of attorney, advance directives, maybe a will that's overdue for an update. You've known for a while it needs attention. This session walks through powers of attorney, advance directives, estate concerns, and the financial realities family caregivers face, keeping the focus on what matters most to the people involved, not just the paperwork.

The holidays can add extra weight for those caring for a loved one, as we work to make the season special for everyone but ourselves. Let's explore self-care strategies to give ourselves permission to celebrate on our own schedule, any day of the year.

A plan has probably crossed your mind more than once, whether that's during a routine visit or simply while thinking ahead. But wanting one and knowing where to start are two different things.

This interactive workshop offers a five-step model and the 4Ms framework, plus downloadable worksheets, so you leave with something started, not just something to think about. Offered once each semester.
